26 Weeks and Counting

I feel like I've been counting up this whole pregnancy, week 5, week 12, week 20, etc, until now. I finally am starting the count down to this little girl arriving! Today we take another week off the timeline, this means only 14 weeks left (unless I'm like my mom and go late). Like I said in my previous post, there is a lot of work for Kurt and I to do before then. However, in the meantime, our baby girl is doing a lot of work on her own. Here are the week 26 highlights:

• The nerves in her ears are better developed and she can hear the people around her better
• She is inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid which is practice for her first breaths
• Still adding more baby fat to her cute little frame
• She is about 14 inches long and weighs over 1.5 lbs
• Her eyes are forming and she'll soon be blinking
• Her body is soaking up antibodies to strengthen her immune system

Whew, that is a lot to work on. That must also be the reason she hasn't stopped moving in two days!
